   Just remembered this other dream, *the moment* I clicked "Post"— it involved   
   black school girls, perhaps age 8 to 10, dealing with their hair.  This one   
   gal was apparently being treated, well, like a school girl, and pressured   
   regarding her hair, as if    
   it were not well-kept / messy, and she was feeling disgruntled about being   
   made to re-do her hair.  There was an element in this dream involving another   
   black girl, who seemed as if she were the same girl's "higher self" in a   
   discussion with her more "   
   rebellious" self, and was demonstrating how well-kept her own hair was   
   (involving a few braids / dreadlocks and green rubber bands.)  The dreamer   
   seemed a bit kinder than I feel myself to be (most of the time) and was   
   genuinely warmly reaching out to her    
   in such a way as to help her feel more positive about her own hair, mentioning   
   "how beautiful" her hair was, and "walk me through this" as in asking the girl   
   to teach the dreamer how to go about turning her unruly Afro into something a   
   school girl could    
   be proud of.  The girl took over the process and began to show the dreamer how   
   to do her hair when the dream ended.   
      
   A few things:  First, I do not recall ever having a dream before of a black   
   school girl.  Second, I'm fairly positive I've never before had a dream   
   regarding the handling of Afro hair.  And third, I'm *fairly* certain I've   
   never before reached out in a    
   dream to a kid in such a manner as to help them feel better about themselves,   
   although I've always kept a positive attitude toward children in general.  The   
   only black schoolgirl who has any link with Gina was her friend, Ramona S.,   
   but I met Ramona (   
   with Gina) when they were both 17 or 18 years of age.  To say I'm a bit   
   perplexed over this is stating it mildly.  My only "rational" explanation is   
   that it was definitely "Gina-influenced."  The dreamer felt "warm" of spirit,   
   certainly much better than    
   I myself normally feel by myself.
